I don't get the "real world" experience remarks anyway when it comes to matters such as politics. It's what you know, and how you use what you know...not how old you are or how much experience you have. Last edited by kentuckyrosesinmay : 09-15-2006 at 10:51 PM.

[quote=kentuckyrosesinmay]Well, some people grow up faster than others do because they have to. Just because I don't supposedly have any "real world experience" according to you all, doesn't mean that I'm not smarter and wiser than people who are older than me. Experience is all what you do with it. For example...I had a friend who had ridden a lot longer than me yet I beat her every time in the big EQ classes. She couldn't figure out how in the world that I was beating her when she had ridden twice as long as me. Well, even though she thought that she had more experience than me, she really didn't. She had only been riding one horse a day, whereas I had been riding four and five. It took me half the time to become a professional trainer than it does most people. By the time I was seventeen, I had clients. Of course, I was lucky. I had a great teacher who saw the potential and determination, took me under her wing, and got me started. Of course, I have had to let off of it because of my college work and other jobs. Boy, do I miss it, but I will rise back to the top one of these days.
I don't get the "real world" experience remarks anyway when it comes to matters such as politics. It's what you know, and how you use what you Just curious, but what do you consider "the top?" I would say making the Olympic team would be the top of the equestrian world. Have you done that? If so, I'm impressed.

Just for the record, when I referred to back to the top, I meant just being able to RIDE and compete in my respectable show divisions because I haven't been able to compete very much this yearIn fact, I have only been able to go to schooling shows because I haven't had the time to get my horses prepared to win at any other type of show. I don't like to go to the more prestigious shows unless my horses are working right, and I think that I have a good chance to win. I haven't even been able to keep my show horses in shape. Back to the top also referred to the clients that I once had, and the money I was making off of training. I can't even compete in the A/O classes anymore because I am considered a professional since I have made money off of it in the past. I have to show against other professionals. What I meant was back to the highest level that I had ever competed in. Of course, I will get better and go further after I get out of college because I will have the resources. Financial resources were the only thing that was holding me back. Yes, you may very well see me competing in international competitions for the United States one day.

... save all these political threads on which you've participated ... put them on a disc and/or print them out ... and put them in a drawer or box some place ... with a little note that says ... "Do Not Open Until 2030." And don't lose the box. When you open the box ... and read what you said here 23 years ago ... you'll be in for quite a shock. Then contact me on the "Remember When There Used To Be Something Called Thoroughbred Racing?" website ... and we'll have a few laughs.

I hope Thoroughbred racing is still around in 23 years!!! Although, I am worried about the direction in which this sport is heading too.
